What is Top Rock?
Top Rock is a new kind of indoor adventure that’s now available at Winchester Sport & Leisure Park. Combining fun, thrills and convenience in equal measure, the key thing that sets it apart from other climbing experiences is the ease with which it can be enjoyed.
Top Rock’s Auto-Belay System
What are the Benefits of Top Rock?
As well as the fun and the thrills you get from climbing all the 17 routes available at Winchester Sport & Leisure Park, there are a number of other reasons why you should give Top Rock climbing a go.
There’s the ease, for starters. You just get clipped on to the auto-belay, start climbing and, once you get to the top (or as high as you dare) just abseil back down. Climbing is also a fantastic whole-body workout, building strength all over your body, but especially in your core, legs and arms and is fantastic for your cardiovascular fitness too.
Who can Enjoy Top Rock?
Thankfully, just about everyone can tackle the Top Rock challenges. As long as you’re aged four plus and weight less than 150kg, then you’re free to enjoy climbing. Just clip on, and get climbing! It must be noted, however, that all climbers aged under 16 must have an adult with them at all times.
We’ll also need you to wear loose, comfortable clothing, with comfy, closed-toe shoes with plenty of grip on them such as trainers. If you’ve got long hair, then we’ll need you to tie it back, while head scarves need to be secured and no jewellery can be worn while you’re climbing, unfortunately.
The Top Rock facilities are available for private hire. Please get in contact with the centre for more information.
How Long do Top Rock Sessions Last?
Each session lasts 55 minutes. This includes a safety briefing and harness fitting with our instructors, so make sure you arrive on time for your session! Once that’s done, you can enjoy 45 minutes of uninterrupted climbing with our instructors always being on hand for support and advice.
